A friend of Kanye West’s since the age of 15 and the co-writer behind his Grammy-winning “Jesus Walks” and -nominated “New Slaves” hits, rapper Rhymefest announced over the weekend that he purchased his longtime friend and collaborator’s childhood home.
As the creative director of Donda’s House, Kanye’s non-profit organization named after his late mother, Rhymefest bought the house for the charity, saying it will be used as a “community arts incubator” and will include a studio and museum.
He wrote:
